Since it looked like it might be a better of of backing up, I
thought I'd try fbackup instead of dump. So, I kicked it in on
my 9000/850 (3.1) at level 0 and waited for the tape drive to
start moving.  And waited. Three hours later it is still doing
something (collecting file names, I think. As this was going on,
I watched the data size grow to about 15M).  I killed it, and
started again. Same thing. Is there something I'm missing here, or
do I have a bad program, or is fbackup just not a good way to do this?
